30 minutes late for work this morning because of rubbernecker idiots staring at a crash on the westlink. FFS like just move on! It's a fender bender!

Came into work fresh as a daisy today, charged up after a lovely weekend.

The guy beside me wont stop yawning and I'd say is about to fall asleep within the next 5 - 10 minutes.
The heating is on in my office. Yes, the heating is on and it's uncomfortable hot. There are about 3 people out of 20 in my area that like it this way and they seem to always win the thermostat war.

So now with Yawny McYawnerson beside me, and the womb like temperature, my fresh as a daisy feeling is draining.

Usual internal battle of "I want to go out for lunch but I can't afford it" going on here. It's always particularly bad on Mondays, for some reason.

Battled that for my partners with packing him lunches everyone's jealous of now. Healthier and cheaper. Otherwise he'd just splash the money on crap and when sitting all day with most lunches you wouldn't do your figure a favour either.

I always bring my own and it's always lovely (cause I'm an excellent cook, if I do say so myself!) and it still doesn't stop the "Will I/won't I?" internal monologue at least once a week.

I took to leaving my wallet at home to remove any choice in the matter, but unfortunately I have it with me today.

I have an interview this afternoon, so of course a spot has developed on my nose. I'm a 43 year old man! A spot! For the first time in a decade... ffs.

OldNotWIse

Today - everything and everyone. Walking down the street and you catch people looking at you - why do strangers do that? No I do not want to make eye contact with you thanks all the same.

People people everywhere.... In the canteen, on the bus, in front of me while I try to pick something from the shelf in the shop. Eugh, go away world.

Also pointless statements like, "ah sure look"/ "it is what it is"/ "we are where we are" - no sh*t Sherlock. People who say they will "action" something.

People who start any sentence with "so".

Banks insisting on using statements referring to "backing doing"/ "backing brave" etc. F*ck F*ck F*ck off...

"Celebrity gossip" - nobody cares.

I just realised that Vodafone stopped their cherry points promotion. EDIT: I get at least three notifications a week from them all with the same content, but when they stop something like that, not a peep. I had quite a few points, too. :mad:

TA'd that I still haven't heard back from the place that I had a (really good) job interview the other day. He said he'd definitely call! Maybe I'm just being impatient though

Mollyb60

Controversial I know but my TA this lunchtime is old people. They're just walking slowly and stopping in the middle of the street/aisle randomly. I have a limited lunchtime and a ****load of stuff to do. The shops were like a slalom course trying to manoeuvre around them!

My tumble dryer drives me absolutely mental. It dries the clothes grand but it won't shut the fcuk up when it's finished. It beeps to let you know the cycle is over. Grand. But then it beeps about ten times once a minute for five minutes. Then it stops for about five minutes but will start beeping ten times a minute for another five minutes :mad: Why did manufacturers think this was a good idea??? It means I can't just put the clothes in the dryer, turn it on and have nice dry clothes in the morning. FFS.

My microwave is the same. Five beeps, repeated at regular intervals to infinity. :mad:

I'm loving the warmer weather and longer days. It means that I get to spend my evenings out doing gardening again but those ba$tard midges are back :mad: I was out in the garden yesterday and it was a calm evening so the little feckers were out in full force. I admitted defeat and went inside, only to wake up this morning to loads of their little scratchy hives. They are bigger as$holes than wasps.

Would you try a timer and time the power to shut off shortly after the drying cycle has finished?

TA the dog is hyper clingy for some reason at the moment. Always under my feet, always wanting what I am eating, if I go out to the garden, he's walking in front of me, go back in and he's walking in front of me again, then stops suddenly and I nearly trip up. Get the car keys and he barks the house down. I go upstairs and he he's up after me, go back down again and he barks for me to go up and bring him down (for some reason he can't come down the stairs himself). I'm going to sneak out to my garden shed in a few minutes to try and eat an apple in peace.

This, a million times: dryer & washer. I thought it was just my brand (Miele) but maybe it's an industry-wide stupidity. And then you follow the instructions on the screen to 'Press Finish', but that's not enough because another beep beep then starts and won't turn off until you press the machine off button. So much for putting washing/drying on before you go to bed!

My ta: people who put dishes and clean cloths in the sink, and pour tea, coffee etc on them. Why? You do know they'll all have to be rinsed and taken out again and in the meantime they are preventing people from filling up kettles, emptying pots, washing individual items quickly and so forth? Simple practice: put dirty dishes on one side of the sink, and when the dishes are being washed they can be taken in order for washing - e.g. glasses first into the clean water and the dirtier things later. It's no exaggeration to say that some people (the eternally late brigade, the drama queens, the "oh my God I can't believe there's so much traffic/that meeting took so long, etc." types) don't even think 5 minutes ahead in life.

If this has started out of the blue it could be there's been a big change in the routine at home causing the dog to be stressed or maybe he's developed an illness and needs a trip to the vet.

I do put them on a timer but it's the same crap with all the beeping. I don't know how to time the power to shut off and this isn't a criticism aimed at you as I know you are only trying to help but I shouldn't have to programme the dryer to shut the fcuk up. What the hell were manufactures thinking?

I hope they all live in houses where their washing machines, dryers, microwaves etc all go on a bleeping rampage and drive them mental :pac:

Thanks Donegal-man. Will be taking him to the vet this week for his shots, so will have him checked. There's been a change in the routine at home allright in that I recently reduced my working hours meaning that I am at home more often. The mornings I get up to go to work, he's back to normal (maybe he just likes his space and doesn't want me around!).

TA it's too warm when the heating is on, and too cold when it's off.

How about house alarm beep disabler too - the battery in mine is low and it waits til just now to start beeping to let me know. It will beep every few minutes all night until I can get somebody out tomorrow hopefully to replace it. This always happens at night same with batteries in smoke alarms

I think he meant one of these timers - when they switch off, there's no electricity, so in theory the machine can't beep.

My dryer doesn't beep, which would actually be grand since it's in a shed about 50 ft from the house so I wouldn't care either way BUT...

... major TA of mine is also a design feature whereby it never actually switches off for good.
There's this thing that will make it spin automatically every half hour or hour to keep your freshly dried laundry crease free.

Meaning if I put it on at night, say around 10 pm, the fekcing thing will be spinning intermittently until morning, unless I cross my yard to go open the door and switch it off manually.

I'd rather have money in my pocket than crease free laundry thank you very much, and having to constantly monitor the freaking thing to ensure it doesn't go into that mode is a dose.

I know he was being helpful, and so are you, but we wouldn't even be having this conversation if manufacturers would go back to old school rules of the machine beeping once when it has finished it's cycle and then shutting the feck up :P

Microwave drives me insane. My one gives 5 extremely loud beeps, which cannot be stopped by pressing any button or opening the microwave. It also beeps every minute until you take the food out.

Oh, I wasn't disputing that at all, I completely agree! It's like those annoying two minutes' lock the washing machines have. I understand they're there to stop children from getting in harm's way, but surely there should be a button to bypass that - imagine being stuck in your car because the child lock won't open for two minutes after the car has stopped! :mad:

The severe overuse if the term "My thoughts and prayers are with..."

Let's break that down literally.
When X died or had a bad illness did you actually take 2 minutes of your time to bless yourself and say a prayer for them?
Did you spend any more thought time of them apart from when you uttered/typed that BS?

I'm going to take umbrage with this.

I'm from Carlow but don't get back there much any more as I live and work in North Dublin area, have done for over 15 years.

A good friend of mines Dad passed away recently, it was a shock to me as it happened suddenly. When I lived in Carlow and saw my friend and was around at his house a lot I would've interacted with his lovely Dad regularly so when I messaged my friend after hearing the sad news I said the same or pretty similar to him about it and yes I did have thoughts to spare about how good and nice a man his Dad was and yes I did say a prayer for the familys grief at his loss.

That's the problem with death, it's not a fun topic, what else can you offer ?
I'd believe a lot of people mean it when they say a phrase like that especially if they knew the person in question at all. Try to be less cynical.
